of  the  many  le  lers  he  aMressed  to  his  acquaintantvs,  he 

is  happy  tosnyjie  has  been  much  ciicouragi'd  and  sfr«>ngly 

urged  to  prosecute  the  labors  connected   with  such  an  en- 

t'^rprise.     The  reader  is  referred  to  the  letter  of  Uev.  C.  P. 

Bernan,  that  veteran  educator,  now  of  Mt.  Zion,  Georgia; 

also  to  a  letter  from  Dr.  N.  M.  Crawford,  President  of 

"  lercer  University,  Ga.,  whose  ripe  scholarship  at»d  ext*Mi- 

sive  experience  in  teaching  will  not  be  questioned  in  this 

country. 

It  is  proper  to  state  that  the  orthography  of  Webster  has 

been  invariably  K'^^if^ecl ;  /and  that  in  very  few  instances  has 

his  pronunciation  been  n-jeeted.     The  flat,  or  Italian  soun(i 

of  a,  A«  heard  in  the  word  father^  should  not   be  heard  in 

the  TTOcd  crass,  mass,  gliHt-s,  bass,  <Scc.     In  these  words   I

have  given.  to'tli6  letter  a  its  short  sound,  as  in  mat.     This 

>  utidoubtedly  the  ysage  amongst  us,  and  it  has  I  he  sane 

tion  of  Walker  of  London.     The  flat  sound  of  the  letter  a 

in  these  instances  is  a  New  England  provincialism. 

I  had  marked  the  vowel  sounds,  as  well  as  those  of  a  few 

consonants,  as  Dr.  "VVebster  has  niarked  ihem.     But  since 

.the  mantiscript  has  been  finished,  it  has  been  uscerta.;

earliest  possible  period,  the  work  will  be  stereotyped,  and 

\  all  tho  necessary  distinctions  of  sound  will  bo  made;  and 

by  inspecting  the   Key  to  the  sounds,  page  14,  the  ini'  "'

of  these  Cniifedt-rate  States  of  America  will  not  hcneerorth 
withhold  from  their  school-books,  the  teachinj^s  of  the  Scrip- 
tures on  this  subject.  They  have  no  higher  law  than  Holy 
Writ.  It  is  their  standard  in  religion  and  morals;  and 
"  when  the  enemy  shall  come  in  like  a  flood,  the  Spirit  of 
the  Lord  shall  lift  up  a  standard  against  him."     I<a.  59:  19 

The  names  of  men  and  women  found  in  the  New  Testa- 
ment, are  appended  to  the  bonk;  and  are  pronounced  as 
Walker  and  Webster  have  pronounced  th€m  ;  except  the 
word  Israel,  which  is  here  pronounced  Iz'  ra  el,  as  it  is  pro- 
nounced in  Israel  Alger's  Pronouncing  Bible.  This  pro- 
nunciation is  t-asier  of  utterance,  and  is  far  more  euphoni- 
ous than  the  sharp  hissing  sound  of  the  letter  .«>•,  and  it  is 
in  conformitv  with  ijeneral  usage. 

It  is  the  object  of  the  Spelting-book  to  teach  orthography 
and  orthoepy  ;  and  the  various  tables  of  spelling  are  so 
constructed  as  to  condensp  into  the  smallest  compass  a  cor 
plete  system  of  teaching  the  elements  of  the  langungi'. 
However  small  this  book  may  appear,  it  may  be  consid- 
ered as  the  most  important  class-book,  not  of  a  purely  re- 
ligious character,  which  the  rising  generation  of  the  Souih- 
rrn  Confederacy  are  destined  to  use.

EXTRACTS  FEOM  WEBSTER'S  PRETACE. 

The  Plan. — The  plan  of  classification  is  here  extended 
80  as  to  compreht'nd  every  important  variety  of  English 
vvrirds;  aii<l  the  cUsses  are  so  arranged  with  suitable  di 
rections  for  the  pronunciation,  thst  any  pupil  who  shall 
be  nVister  of  these  ELEMENTAKr  Taplf.s.  will  find  little 
difficulty  in  learning  to  fjrm  and  pronounce  Mny  words 
that  properly  belong  to  our  vernacular  t**Tigi 

Spkllino  and  forming  words, — "  The  t^il.les

words  with  the  tt'rrninrtli<»na  only  of  their  derivation*. 

'  »se  tables  will  answer  the  important  purpose  of  teach- 

^'  the  manner  of  forming  the  derivatives,  and  the  distinc- 

n  of  the  parts  of  speech,  and  thus  anticipate,  in   some 

i  degree,  the  knowledge  of  grammar." 

'^     'XiNCiATioN. — "There  area  few  words  in  both  coiin- 
l:2iiglandand  America,  whose  pronunciation  is  nc^t  set- 
tled beyond  dispute.     In  cases  of  this  kind  I  have  leaned 
to  rojrular  analogies  as  furnishinsj  the  best  rule  of  decision." 

Uniformity  of  Oktiiooraphy. — ''In  orthography  there 

f  are  s<»me  classes  of  words  in  which  usape  is  n«)t  uniform. 

i  No  two  English  writers  agree  on  this  subject;  and,  what  is 

worse,  no  K'Xicographc'W  is  consistent  with  himself.     In  ihis 

i  branch  of  English  |)hilology,  I  have  adopted,  both  in  this 

•  rk   and    in   my  Dirtiotiary,  that   orthography  winch  is 

..i.ist  simple,  and  which  is  now  the  best  authorized.     I  have 

j  pursued  the  rules  which   a're  held  to  be   legitimate,  and 

have  rendered  all  cases  of  words,  falling  witliin  the  rules, 

unift>rm  in  orthography." 

!Marks  of  Sounds.  * — "In  this  work,  the  sounds  of  the 
vels  in  accented  syllables  are  represented  by  marks  or 
ji. /lilts  attached  to  the  letters.     This  serves  to  fix  the  pro- 
nunciation of  words,  and  to  facilitate  the  acquisition  of  the 
language  both  by  fxjreigners  and  our  own  children." 

Silent  Letters. — "  Letters  printed  in  the  Italic  charac- 
ters are  mute;  but  by  the  classilication  of  words  ln'i-e 
adopted,  few  of  these  characters  are  necessary.'" 

The  RKAmNQ  lessons. — "These  lessons  will  serve  to 
'tstitute  variety  for  the  dull  monotony  of  spelling,  and 
!ow  th«;  praetieal  use  of  words  in  signilicaut  seiiti  nces,  and 
thus  enablo  the  learner  the  better  to  understand  their  true 
meaning."  ISfc^  Teachers  should  notice  this,  and  not  re- 
quire parents  to  go  to  the  usele^^s  expense  of  purchasing 
Northern  catch-penny  readers  No.  1,  2,  3,  4,  &;c.  ' 

Signification  or  words. — "It  is  useful  to  teach  children  i 

the  sigiiiHcations  of  \*^rds  as  sown  as  they  can  comprehend  ! 

them;   but  the  understanding  can  hardly  keep  pace  with  the  j

ANALYSIS  OF  SOUNDS 

IN    THE 


The  English  Alphabet  consists  of  twenty  six  letters  or 
single  characters,  the  sounds  of  which  are  rendered  signifi- 
cant by  establishf'd  usage.  The  compounds  c/>,  sk,  th  u\w 
ng,  are  also  used  to  n'present  distinct  sounds ;  and  anothej 
sound  is  expressed  by  si  or  z ;  as  in  brasier,  azure,  pro- 
nounc«*d  bra'  zhvr^  azli'  iir. 

A,  E,  O  are  always  vowelsk 

I  or  U  are  vowels  or  diphthongs. 

W  is  also   a  vowel,  except  when   it  begins   a  word   o 
syllable. 

Y  IS  either  a  vowel,  a  diphthong  or  a  consonant. 

The  vowels  a,  e,  i,  o,  u.  y,  have  regular  long  and   short 

unids,  as  represf^nted   in  the  Key,  page  12;  and  also  oc- 
isional  sounds,  which  occur  more  rarely,  as  may  aisr>  b' 

en  in  the  Key,  where  they  are  all  clearly  exhibited  b\ 

■rtain  cliur.ieters.

{coincides  with   the   short   i   \\\  pit ;  as   in    ir 
short  sound    of  i   is  that  of  y  unaccented   at   ilic   cim.I   »4 
words;  as  in  glory,     l>ie  short  sound  of  bropd  a  in  Imli. 
s  the  same  as  the  short  o  in  holhj^  and  of  a  in  wli{tt. 
^^      The  short  sound  of  oo  in  poofy  is  that  of  u  in  j 
''  00  in  wool.  ,. 

The  short  sound  of  o  in  nol  is  somewhat  lengthened  be 
lore  r,  *,  th  an<l  ng  ;  as  in  nor,  rrosM.  broth,  b*l>nig. 

The  articulatjoiis  represented  by  the  cojis«>i,;inr^- are 
u  ulerstood  by  placing  a  vowel  bef»»re  them  ii 
tion,  thus :  eb,  ed,  ef,  ek,  el,  em,  eii,  4-p,  er,  « 


ANALYSIS     f>F     SOUNDS. 


Those  articulations  which  %\h«»lly  interrupt  the  voice 
;  are  called  clo^e  or  miite,  as  eb,  ed,  og,  ek,  cp,  ot.  Those 
!  which  do  nut  intcrriipl  the  V(»ico  are  called  s»ini-vo\vcls, 
I  as  cf,  el,  cm,  en,  er,  cs,  ev,  cz  eth. 

T'  '.so  articulations  which   are.   formed  by  the  lips  are 
i  hihials ;  as  cb,  cf,  em,  ep,  ev. 

Dental  articulations  aie  formed  by  the  tongue  and  teeth, 
as  ed,  et,  ith. 

Palatil  art'culatiori''  are  those  which  are  formed  by  the 
ton^rue  and  the  palate;  as  eg,  ek,  ing. 

Sihilants. — The  letters  «  and  z  are  called  sibilant  or  his- 
sinij  letters. 

B  and  P  represent  nearly  one  and  the  ^ame  articulation, 
or  jointing  of  the  lips;  but  P  represents  a  closer  pressure 
of  the  lips. 

D  and  T  stand  f  >r  one  and  the  same  articulation,  which 
is  the  pressure  of  the  tongue  against  the  gum  of  the  upper 
teeth,  but  T  stands  for  a  closer  articulation  than  I). 

F  and  V  stand  for  the  same  articulation,  the  upper  teeth 
placed  on  the  under-lip  ;^it  F  indleaLos  an  expulsion  "f 
breath  without  sound  ;  V  with  sound. 

7'A  in  think  and  that  represent  one  and  the  same  articu- 
lation— the  former  with  aspiration,  the  latter  with  sound, 

S  and  Z  stand  for  one  and  the  same  articulation,  atten- 
ded with  hissing;  s  without  sound   z  with  sound. 

Sh  and  zh  have  the*arne  distinction  as  s  and  z,  aspira- 
ted and  vocal ;   but  zh  not  occurring  in  English  words,  :he 

"Uid   is  represented  by  s/,  or  other  letters,  as  iu  futti' 

fcr,  azuvf. 
I      N'j  represents  the  articulation  of  the  body  of  the  tongue 
with  the  roof  of  the  mouth.     In  certain  words,  as  in  sinn. 
the  articulation  is  mr)derat(ly  close,  with  a  nasal  sound  ; 
in  other  words,  as  mjingery  the  pressure  is  more   close, 
stopping  all   sound.     A  closer  pressure  is  rcpresei      '   ' 
Ilk  as  ill  hd'ik.     The  difference  is  obvious  in  hami. 
bunk,  but  the  articulation   is  the  same  in  all   cases.     See 
section  139. 

B  has  one  sound  only,  as  in  b'lte^  and  is  silent  aOer  rn, 
.as  in  c/i/m'>,  ])lumb. 

C  has  the  souid  of  k  before  a,  o  and  v,  as  in  cut,  cat^ 
corn.     This  hard  sound  of  c  may  be  represented  nearly  by 

•'i  letters  cmA.   But  c  has  also  a  hard  spund  like  the  Iritcrs 


ANALYSIS     OF     SoUNDS.  9 


Ice  ;  as  in  cdme,  cure,  cr.  cab.  It  has  the  sound  of  5  lufore 
f,  i  {"lid  y,  as  in  cedar,  cider,  cycle.  Il  may  be  considered 
as  mute  before  k ;  as  in  sick,  thick.  When  it  is  followed 
by  e  or  i  before  another  vowel,  it  unites  with  e  or  i  to 
form  the  sound  of  sh.  Thus,  cetaceous,  gracious,  conscience, 
are  pronounced  ce  ta'  shus,  gra'  shus,  con'  shense, 

D  has  but  one  sound,  as  in  day,  hid. 

F  has  one  s(;nnd  only,  as  in  life,  fever,  except  in  of  in 
which  it  has  t!ie  sound  of  v. 

G  before  a,  o  and  v,  is  a  close  palatal  articulation,  as  in 
yave,  go,  gun;  but  before  e,  i  and  y  it  has  the  sound  of  j. 
It  may  be  remarked  that  the  sound  of  g  before  a,  0  and  u 
is  commonly  called  tlic  hard  sound  ;  and  the  sound  before 
e,  i  and  y  is  called  the  soil  sound,  like  that  of  j.  The  two 
hard  sounds  a^e  very  dislinctly  diflerent  in  different  com- 
Ijinations;  the  sound  of  g  in  gave  is  that  of  gee,  as  in  geese  ; 
the  other  hard  sound  is  similar  to  that  made  by  the  letters 
guh,  as  heard  in  gun,  gust.    ^Bee  Key,  page  12. 

II  is  a  mark  of  breathing,  or  aspiration.  After  r  it  has 
no  sound  ;  as  in  rhetoric. 

I  in  certain  words  has  the  use  of  y  consonant;  as  in 
miUion,  pronounced  millyun.  Before  r  it  sometimes  lak<-" 
the  sh<>rt  sound  of  ic ;  as  in  sir,  bird,  dirt,firt. 

J  represents  a  compcmnd  sound,  that  may  be  expressed 
y  dz/i,  as  in  Joy,  jar. 

K  has  the  two  distinct  hard  sounds  of  c  ;  tlic  first  lik« 

"//,  as  in  koran,  kind.  The  second,  but  more  general  sound 

>f  the  letters  ke,  as  in  king,  kid.  kalmia.     This  sound  of  k 

s  lh{'  hard  sound  of  r,  which  Webster  says  "may  be  cali- 

j  ed  /t."     See  letter  c  in  his  large  Dictionary. 

L  has  ouQ  sound  only  ;  as  in  lame,  mill.  It  is  sonrtetimes 
-ilent  before  k,  as  in  walk  ;  before  m,  as  in  calm;  and  be- 
,  as  in  calf. 

M  has  only  one  soimd,  as  in  man,  fame. 
j      N  has  one  sound  oidy,  as  in  not,  sun.     It  is  silent  after 
m,  as  in   hyinn,  sobmn. 

P  has  (»tie  sound  only;   as  in  pit,  h'p.     T.  fcro  .«?  it  U  ^ 
lent  ;  as  in  psalm. 

Q  has  prreisrly  the  power  of  k,  but  it  is  always  iullowcd 
by  u,  sounded  like  w,  as  in  quesiioii,  queer. 

S  has  its  proper  sound,  as  in  send,  les.^,  or  the  sound

it  unites  with  a  vowel  in  forming  the  sound  of  sh  ;  as  in 
omission^  pron'mnced  o  misk'  un,  or  zh,  as  in  osier,  pro- 
iiounct  d  o'  zhur. 

T  has  its  proper  sound,  as  in  turn,  at  the  beginning  of 
words  and  end  of  syllal)los.  Before  ?",  followed  by  anoth- 
er vowc'ly  it  unites  wih  i  and  forms  the  sound  of  sh,  as  in 
nation,  partial,  patience,  pronounced  fia'  shun,  par'  shut 
pa'  shense.  A  few  exceptions  are.  when  s  and  nr  precede  /,  i 
as  in  bastion,  christian,  mixtion,  are  pronoun<rd  Ixi.st'  unit,  i 
christ'  yan,  mikst'  yun. 

\  has  one  sound  only;  as  in  voicCy  live,  and  is  never 
silent,  and  never  ends  a  word. 

W  before  r  is  silent ;  as  in  wring,  wrong.  In  most  words 
irinning  with  tuh,  the  h  precedes  the  w'n\  utterance.  Thus 
i<:n.  is  pronounced  hwen. 

X  represents  ks,  as  in  'wax,  box  ;  but  is  sometimes  pro> 

nounced   like  ^^,  as  in  exart,  pronounced  egz'  act.     At  the 

beginning  of  words  it  is  pront)unced  like  2:,  as  in  xenonhon. 

7j  has  its  proper  sound  which  is  soft  like  s  in  his,  has. 

I       Ch  have  the  sound  nearly  of  tsh.  as  in  child ;  or  the  sound 

!  of  /',  as  in  character  ;  or  of  sk,  as  \n  machine,  chaise. 

Gh  ;ire  mute  in  every  English  word,  both  in  the  middle 
and  at  the  end  of  words,  except  in  the  follov^iug:  cough, 
ck'tvgh,  dough,  enough,  hough,  laugh,  rough,  slnigh,  lOugh. 
trough.  These  words  close  with  the  sound  of /,«so  that 
gh  may  be  said  not  to  have  their  proper  sound  in  any 
J'^iiirlish  word. 

Ph  have  the  sound  of/,  as  in  philosophy ;  except  in 
StCfihen,  pronounced  Ste'  vcn. 

Sii  have  one  sound  only,  as  in  shall. 
Th  have  two  sounds;  aspirate  or  sharp,  as  \w  thick,  thin, 
both,  find  the  vocal   or   flat  sound,  as  in   thou,  this,  bathf 
See  Key,  page  12. 

Sc  have  th<5  sound  of  sk  before  a,  0,  u  and  r,  as  in  ^^• 
sculpture,  scroll;  and  the  sound  of  s  only  before  e,  i  .:, 
y ;  as  in  scene,  sc'ej^ter,  science,  scyihian. 

DIGRAPHS. 

Two  vowels  in  a  syllable,  where  only  one  is  sommt...  .(»,• 
called  fi  digraph ;  when  both  are  sounded  together  they 
are  called  a  diphthong. 

Th<^   pronunciation  of  the  diphthongs  oi  and   vy,  is  the 
sa me  an d  u  n i  f< )  r-m  ;  as  i n  join,  joy,  0 il. 


ANALYSIS     OF     SOUNDS.  11 


The  pronunciation  of  the  diphthongs  o?/.  and  oiv  is  the 
same  ijind  uniibrm,  as  in  sound,  noio.  But  in  the  termiiiaT 
tions  ous,  oil  is  not  a  diphthong  and  the  pronunciation  is 
us;  as  in  pious,  ff'orious,  various.  • 

The  diagrams  w?  and  ay,  in  words  of  one  syllable,  and  in 
accented  syllables,  have  the  sound  of  «  long.  Jn  the  unac- 
cented syllables  of  a  few  words,  the  sound  of  a  is  nearly 
or  quite  lost;  as  \n  certain,  curtain,  captain.  'J  he  digraphs 
uu  and  aiv  have  the  sound  of  bioad  o,  as  in  /<f'//;  ew  that 
o*'  u  long,  as  in  7ieio;  and  fy,  unaccented,  that  of  y  short, 
as  in  vallet/. 

When  one  vowel  of  a  digraph  is  pointed  or  marked,  the 
other  has  no  sound;  as  in  court,  road,  slow. 

The  digraphs  ea,  ee.  ei,  io,  when  not  pointed,  have,  in 
tliis  book,  the  sound  of  e  long;  as  in  near,  meet,  seize,  grieve. 
The  vowels  in  Section  143  are  exceptions. 

The  digraph  oa,  unless  pointed,  has  the  sound  of  o  long, 
as  in  boat.     Jn  a  few  instances  words  of  disputable  pronun 
elation  are  distinguished  by  this  mark  f. 

Vowels,  in  words  of  one  syllable,  followed  by  a  single 
conso'iant  and  e  final,  are  long;  as  in  fate,  mete,  mute,  un- 
less pointed,  as  in  d  ve,  (jive. 

The  accented  syllable  of  a  word  is  distinguished  by  the 
mark  ('). 

The  double  accent  (")  in  such  words  as  2'>'>'^'-'"  ious,  am 
hi"  tious,  (Section  135,)  shows  that  the  subsequent  c  or  t 
has  the  scumd  of  sh. 

The  double  accent  in  such  words  as  ryw"  ger,  clan"  gor. 
(Section  130)  shows  that  ng  are  pronounced  with  a  close 
articulation,  or  like  double  g  in  clang  gor. 

ACCENT,    EMPHASIS,    AND    CADENCE. 

Accent  is  a  forcible  str(^ss  of  the  voice  on  a  letter  or  sy] 
I  lablc,  distiiiguishiiig  it  from  others  in  the  same  word 
^Trii-n  it  falls  on  a  vowel,  it  prolongs  the  sound,  as  in  glo' 

rif ;   when  it  falls  on  a,  consonjuit,  the  p'veeeding  vowel  is 
1  short,  as  in  hah'  it.     The  gen<'ral    rule   by  which  accent  is 

rcirulatcd,  is  that  the  stress  of  voice  falls  on  that  Ssllab^ 
I  of  a  word,  which  renders  the  articulations  most  easy  to  ih' 

speaker  and    most  agreeable  to  the  hearer.     By  this   rub 

the  accent  of  most  words   have  been  established   by  IoDl 

and  universal  consent.

And  yb,  fathers,  provoke  not  your  children  to  wrath  ; 
but  bring  them  up  in  the  nurture  and  admonition  of  the 
Lord. 

Servants,  be  obedient  to  them  that  are  your  masters 
according  to  the  flesh,  with  fear  and  trembling,  in  single- 
ness of  your  heart,  as  unto  Christ;  not  with  eye-service, 
as  men-pleasors,  but  as  the  servants  of  Christ,  doing  the 
will. of  God  from  the  heart;  with  good  will  doing  service 
as  to  the  Lord  and  not  to  men.  Knowing  that  whatso- 
ever good  thing  any  man  doeth,  the  same  shall  he  receive 
of  the  Lord,  whether  he  be  bond  or  free. 

And  ye  masters,  do  the  same  things  unto  them,  forbear- 
ing threatening;  knowing  that  your 'master  also  is  in 
heaven;  neither  is  there  respect  of  persons  with  him."

now  TO    PIT  TO  SILENCE  THE   IGNORANCE 
OF  FOOLISH   MEN.— 1  Peter  2:15— 20. 

"  For  so  is  tlie  wifl  of  God,  that  with  well-doing  ye  may  put 
to  silence  the  ignorance  of  foolisli  men  :  As  free,  and  not 
using  your  liberty,  for  a  cloak  of  njaliciousness,  but  as 
the  servants  of  God. 

Honor  all  nnen.  Love  tlie  brotherhood.  Fear  God.  Honor 
the  king.     ^The  rulir.) 

SERVANTS,  be  subject  to  yovr  masters  with  all  frar;  not  only 
to  the  good  and  gentle,  but  also  to  the  froward.  For 
this  is  thankworthy,  if  a  man  for  eonscitnce  toward  God 
endure  grief,  suffering  wrongfully.  For  what  glory  is  it, 
if,  when  ye  are  buffeted  for  your  faults  ye  shall  take  it 
patiently*?  But  it',  when  ye  do  well,  and  sutler  for  it,  ye 
shall  take  it  patiently,  this  is  ae<ieptable  with  God.  For 
even  hereunto  were  ye  called."

THE  BIBLE   ON  SLAVERY. 


I 


The  ten  commandments,  commonly  called  the  Deca- 
logue, ARE  FOUND  IN  THE  T\yENTIETH  CHAPTER  OF   ExODUS. 

They  recognize  Slavery,  and  are  of  perpetual  force, 
.    as  follows  : 

1.  Thou  shalt  have  no  other  Gods  beft^re  me. 

2.  Thou  shalt  not  make  unto  thee  any  graven  image,  or  any 
likeness  of  anything  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or  that  is 
in  the  earth  beneath,  or  that  is  in  the  water  under  the 
earth.  Thou  shalt  n(^t  bow  down  thyself  to  them,  nor 
serve  them  ;  for  I  the  Lord  thy  God  am  a  jealous  God, 
visiting  the  iniquity  of  the  fathers,  upon  the  children 
unto  the  third  and  fourth  generation  of  them  that  hate 
me;  and  showing  mercy  unto  thousands  of  them  that 
love  me  and  keep  my  command-ments. 

3.  Thou  shalt  not  take  the  name  of  the  Lord  thy  God  in 
vain  ;  for  the  Lord  will  not  hold  hirfi  guiltless  that  takelh 
I  lis  name  in  vain.

4.  RiMneniber  the  Sabbath-day  to  keep  it  holy.  Six  days 
shalfthou  labor,  and  do  ail  thy  worl< ;  but  the  sevenlli 
aAy  is  theSabhatli  of  the  Lord  thy  God  :  in  it  thou  shalt 
not  do  any  worlv,  thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor  thy  daughter, 
tliy  nian-s(  rvant,  nor  thy  maid-servant,  nor  thy  cattle, 
nor- thy  stranger  that  is  Within  thy  gates;  for  in  six 
•days  the  Lord  made  heaven  and  earth,  the  sea,  and  all 
that  in  ^hera  is.  and  rested  the  seventh  day  ;  wherefore 
the  Lord  blessed  the  Sabbath-day  and  hallowed  it. 

5.  Honor  thy  father  and  thy  mother ;  that  thy  days  mny 
be  long  upon  the  land  which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee. 

6.  Thou  shalt  not  kill. 

7.  Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery. 

8.  Thou  shalt  not  steal. 

9*  Thou  shalt  not  bear  fals-^  witness  ajjainst  thv  nei^jhbor. 

10.  Thou  shalt  not  covet  thy  neighbor's  house,  thou  slialt 
not  covet  thy  neighbor's  wife,  nor  his  man-servant,  nor 
his  nrtaid-servaiit,  nor  his  ox,  nor  hfs  ass,  nor  anything 
that  is  thy  neighbor's." 

Slivves  are  our  neighbor's  property,  as  much  so  as  his  house..

In  free  jrovernments,  like  the  government  of  the  Confede- 
rate suites  of  America,  the  people  choose  their  legisla- 
tors. We  have  legislators  for  each  State,  who  make 
•  laws  for  the  States  where  they  live.  The  town  in  which 
they  meet  to  legislate  is  called  the  seat  of  government. 
These  legislat«jrs,  when  they  assemble  to  make  laws  are 
called  the  Lei^islature. 
The  people  should  choose  their  wisest  and  best  men  for 

their  legislators. 
It  is  the  duty  of  every  good  citizen  to  inspect  the  moral 
conduct  of  the  men  who  ofter  as  legislators  at  our  elec- 
tions.    If  the  people  wish  for  good  laws,  they  may  have 
them  by  electing  good  men.  * 

The  legislative  councils  of  the  Confederate  States  should 
feel  their  dependence,  under  God,  on  the  will  of  a  free 
and  virtuous  people. 
Our  farmers,  mechanics  and  merchants  compose  the 
strength  of  our  nation.  Let  them  be  wise  and  virtuous, 
and  watchful  of  their  liberties.  Let  them  trust  no  man 
to   lerrislate  for  them,  if  he   lives  in  the  habitual  viol^ 


tion  of  the  laws  of  his  country.

The  heathen  are  those  people  who  worship  idols,  or  who 
know  not  the  true  God. 

Those  who  enjoy  the  light  of  the  gospfel,  and  neglect  to 
obey  its  precepts,  are  more  criminal  than  the  heathen. 

'^AU  mankind  are  brethren,  and  descendants  of  common 
parents.  How  unnatural  and  wicked  it  is  to  make  war 
on  our  brethren,  to  conquer  tht-m,  or  to  plunder  them 
and  destroy  them  !"'  So  says  Dr.  Noah  Webster  in  the 
face  of  all  his  Northern  friends.  This  sentiment  deserves 
a  monument  to  his  memory.  Every  true  Southerner 
must  appreciate  it.  Every  God-fearing  man  will  endorse 
it.

Senate  originally  signified  a  council  <3f  elders ;  for  men, 
before  their  minds  were  perverted  and  corrupted,  com- 
mitted the  public  concerns  to  men  of  age  and  experience. 
The  maxim  of  wise  men  was,  ^^ old  men  for  counsel; 
young  men  for  war."  But  in  modern  times  the  senato- 
rial dignity  is  not  always  connected  with  age,  and  expe- 
rience.

Dr.  Webster  remarks — "Tiie  pronunciation  of  the  words 
in  the  following  table,  is  marked  in  different  ways  by  wri- 
ters on  orthoepy. 

1.  Natshurc,jointshure^&c.,  with  w  long.  This  is  a  false 
notation ;  the  words  neither  in  England  or  the  United 

^   States  being  ever  pronounced  with  u  long. 

2.  Natshur,  jointshur  \s\i\i  n  short.  This  pronunciation  is 
common  in  both  countries,  but  not  the  most  elegant. 

3.  Nateyur,  jointyur.  This  pronunciation,  though  a  depar- 
ture from  the  rules  of  the  language,  by  prefixing  the 
sound  of  y  to  n  short,  is  at  present  fashionable  among 
elegant  speakers.  The  latest  writer  limits  this  anomaly 
almost  wholly  to  a  few  words  of  two  syllables.

The  lungs  are  the  organs  of  respiration.  If  any  substance, 
except  air,  is  inhaled  and  comes  in  contact  with  the  lungs, 
we  instantly  cough.  This  cough  is  an  effort  of  nature 
to  free  the  lungs. 

A  finger  signifies  a  taker,  as  does  fang.  We  take  or  catch 
things  with  the  fingers,  and  fowls  and  rapacious  quad- 
rupeds Sfize  other  animals  with  their  fangs. 

A  pang  is  a  severe  pain  ;  and  anguish  is  violent  distress. 

A  lecture  is  a  discourse  read  or  pronounced  on  any  subject ; 
it  is  a  formal  reproof. 

Whatever  is  wrong  is  a  deviation  from  right,  or  from  the 
laws  of  God  or  man. 

Anger  is  a  tormenting  passion  and  so  are  envy  and  jeal- 
ousy. 

To  be  doomed  to  suffer  these  passions  long,  would  be  a 
severe  punishment. 

An  anglicism  is  a  peculiar  mode  of  speech  among  the  En- 
glish. 

Love  is  an  agreeable  passion,  and  is  sometimes  stronger 
than  death. 

How  happy  men  would  be  if  they  would  always  love  what 
is  right  and  hate  what  is  wrong.

GEORGE  WASHINGTOxV. 
George  Washington  was  born  at  Bridge's  Creek,  West- 
moreland county,  Virginia,  on  the  2'-^d  of  February,  1732. 
Before  he  was  ten  years  old,  he  was  deprived  of  the  guid- 
ance and  example  of  an  excellent  father  ;  but  the  judicious 
economy  and  prudent  affection  of  his  mother  provided  for 
him  instruction  in  the  useful  branches  of  knowledge,  and 
above  all,  she  trained  him  to  a  love  of  truth,  and  success- 
fully cultivated  that  high  moral  sense  which  characterized 
his  actions  from  his  youth.  There  is  no  doubt  that  the 
goodness  and  greatness  of  Washington  «re  to  be  ascribed 
to  the  careful  culture  bestowed  by  his  affectionate  mother 
as  an  instrument  under  the  all-ruling  hand  of  God. 

THE  BIBLE  ON  SLAVERY. 

"let    EVERYMAN    WHEREIN    HE    IS    CALLED    THEREIN    ABIDE 

WITH  GOD." — \st  Corinthians  vii. 

But  as  God  hath  distributed  to  every  man,  as  the  Lord 
hath  called  every  one,  so  let  him  walk;  and  so  ordain  I 
in  all  churches. 

Is  any  man  called,  (that  is  converted,)  being  circum- 
cised, let  him  not  become  uncircumcised ;  is  any  man 
calh'd,  (that  is  converted,)  in  uncircumcision,  let  him  not 
bo  circumcised.  Circumcision  is  nothing,  and  uncircum- 
cision is  nothing,  but  the  keeping  of  the  commandments 
of  God. 

Let  every  man  abide  in  the  same  calling  (that  is  avocA- 
ti.n)  wherein  he  was  called,  (that  is  converted.) 

Art  thou  called,  (that  is  converted)  being  a  servant, 
care  not  for  it;  but  if  thou  mayest  be  made  free,  (by  thy 
lawful  owner,)  use  it  rather. 

For  he  that  is  calle<l  in  the  Lord,  beini^  a  servant,  is  the 
Lord's  free  man;  likewise  he  that  is  called,  being  free,  is  j 
Christ's  servant.     Ye  are  bought  >*ith  a  price;   be  ye  not 
the  servants  of  men.      Brethren,  let  every  man,   wherein 
he  is  called,  therein  abide  with  God,

THE- DUTY  OF  A  GOSPEL  MINISTER  TOWARDS  AGED  MEN,  AGED 
WOMEN,  YOUNG  WOMEN,  YOUNG  MEN  AND  SERVANTS. See 

Titus  ii :  1—10. 

Speak  thou  the  things  which  become  sound  doctrine ; 
that  the  aged  men  be  sober,  grave,  temperate,  sound  in 
faith,  in  charity,  in  patience. 

The  aged  women  likewise,  that  they  be  in  behavior  as 
becometh  holiness,  not  false  accusers,  not  given  to  much 
wine,  teachers  of  good  things  ; 

That  they  may  teach  the  young  women  to  be  sober,  to 
love  their  husbands,  to  love  their  children  ;  to  be  discreet, 
chaste,  keepers  at  home,  good,  obedient  to  their  own  hus- 
bands, that  the  word  of  God  be  not  blasphemed. 

Young  men  likewise  exhort  to  be  sober  minded ;  in  all 
things  showing  thyself* a  pattern  of  good  works;  in  doc- 
trine showing  uncorruptness,  gravity,  sincerity,  sound 
speech  that  cannot  be  condemned; 'that  he  who  is  of  the 
contrary  part  may  be  ashamed,  having  no  evil  thing  to 
say  of  you. 

ExiiORT  SERVANTS  to  be  orbedient-to  their  own  masters, 
and  to  please  them  well  in  all  things;  not  answering  again; 
not  purloining;  but  showing  all  good  fidelity,  that  they 
may  adorn  the  doctrine  of  God  our  Savior  in  all  things."

THE  BIBLE  ON  SLAVERY. 
In  the  following  Bible  readings  the  duty  of  Christians 
generally  is  pointed  out  briefly;  but  the  duty  of  wives, 
husbands,  children,  fathers  and  servants  are  pointed  out 
particularly. 

CoLOSsiANS  III :  9 — 12. 

Lie  not  one  to  another,  seeing  that  ye  have  put  off  the 
old  man  with  his  deeds ;  and  have  put  on  the  new  man, 
which  is  renewed  in  knowledge  after  the  image  of  him 
that  created  him :  where  there  is  neither  Greek,  v or  Jew, 
circumcision  nor  uncircumcision,  Barbarian,  Scythian, 
bond  nor  free,  but  Christ  is  all  and  in  all. 

Put  on,  therefore,  as  the  elect  of  God,  holy  and  beloved, 
bowels  of  mercies,  kindness,  humbleness  of  mind,  meek- 
ness, long  suffering,  forbearing  one  another ;  if  any  man 
have  a  quarrel  against  any,  even  as  Christ  forgave  you  so 
also  do  ye.  And  above  all  these  things  put  on  charity, 
which  is  the  bond  of  perfectness.  And  let  the  peace  of 
God  rale  in  your  hearts,  to  the  which  ye  are  also  called 
in  one  body,  and  be  ye  thankful.  Let  the  word  of  Christ 
dwell  in  you  richly  in  all  wisdom  f  teaching  and  admon- 
ishing one  another  in  psalms  and  hymns,  and  spiritual 
songSj  singing  with  grace  in  your  hearts  to  the  Lord.  And

A,  K,.Jcc ,  long;  A,  B,  AC ,  short — cabe,  bar,  last,  all,  what,  there,  prey,  sir,  son. 


whatsoever  ye  do  in  wc^rd  or  deed,  do  all  in  the  nojjie  of 
the  Lord  Jesus,  giving  thanks  to  God  and  the  Father  by 
him. 

Wive?  submit  yourselves  unto  your  own  husbands,  as 
it  is  fit  in  the  Lord. 

Husbands  Igve  your  wives,  and  be  not  bitter  against 
them. 

CiiFLDRKN  obey  your  parents  in  all  things,  for  this  is 
well-pleasing  unto  the  Lord. 

Fathers  provoke  not  your  children  to  anger,  lest  they 
be  discouraged. 

Servants  obey  in  all  things  your  masters  according  to 
the  flesh;  not  with  eye  service,  as  men  pleasers,  but  in 
singleness  of  heart,  fearing  God  ;  and  whatsoever  ye  do 
do  it  heartily,  as  to  the  Lord  and  not  unto  men  ;  know- 
ing that  of  the  Lord  ye  shall  receive  the  reward  of  the 
inheritance ;  for  ye  serve  the  Lord  Christ. 

Leviticus  XXV  :  44 — 40. 

Both   thy  bondsmen   and   thy  bondsmaids   which   thou  - 
shalt  have  shall  be  of  the  heathen  which  are  r<:)und  about 
you  ;  of  them  shall  ye  buy  bondmen  and   bondmaids. 

Moreover,  of  the  children  of  the  stranger  that  d(*  sojourn 
among  you,  of  them  shall  ye  buy,  and  of  their  families 
that  are  with  you,  which  they  begat  in  your  land,  and  they 
shall  be  your  possession. 

And  ye  shall  take  them  as  an  inheritance  for  your  chil- 
dren after  you,  to  inherit  them  for  a  possession  ;  they  shall 
be  your  bondmen  forever. 

Solomon's  greai  riches. 
I  got  me  servants  and  maidens,  and  had  servants  born 
in  my  house;  also  I  had  great  possessic^n  of  great  and  small 
cattle  above  all  that  were  in  Jerusalem  before  me. — Eccle- 
siasfes  ii :  4 — 7.

GEN.  THOMAS  J.  JACKSON. 

Gen.  T.  J.  Jackson  must  ever  be  re  i^  em  be  red  as  one  of 
the  most  eminent  Generals  who  drew  his  sword  in  the 
cause  of  Southern  independence.  He  wS,s  born  on  the  1st 
day  of  January,  1824,  in  Clarksburg,  Harrison  county, 
Virginia.  His  father,  Jonathan  Jackson,  d'ed  in  1827, 
leaving  four  children.  His  son,  Thomas  Jonathan,  who 
afterwards  became  such  a  distinguished  soldier,  was  but 
three  years  old  at  the  tiny^  of  his  father's  death. 

Thomas  was  taken,  aftai^^hi^  father's  death,  to  live  with 
an  uncle  who  resided  in  Lewis  county.  So  soon  as  he  was 
old  enough  he  began  to  labor  on  his  uncle's  fjirm,  and  to 
go  to  school  for  three  months  in  the  year.  With  such 
limited  advantages  he  could  only  acquire  the  rudiments  of 
a  plain  English  education.  When  he  was  about  seventeen 
years  of  age  he  was  sent  to  the  West  Point  Military 
School.  He  graduated  at  this  institution,  after  the  regular 
course,  with  much  distinction. 

On  leaving  West  Point,  he  entered  the  military  service 
under  Gen.  Zaehary  Taylor,  with  the  rank  of  Lieutenant. 
When  Gen.  Scott  was  ordered  to  Mexico,  Jackson  joined 
hiiu  at  Vera  Cruz,  and  assisted  in  the  capture  of  Mexico. 
In* July,  1861,  some  one  said  to  Gen.  Scott  "  How  is  it 
that  you  cannot  take  Richmond  with  sOch  a  large  army, 
when  with  so  small  a  force  you  could  take  the.  great  city 
ot  M€?xico  ?".  •'•'  You  torget,''  said  the  General,  "  that  some 
ot  the  very  men  wno  helped  to  take  Mexico  are  now  op- 
posnig  my  progress  to  Richmond."  As  a  reward  for  his 
gallant  services  in  the  Mexican  war,  young  Jackson  was 
honored  with  the  rank  of  Brevet  Major.  Very  few  of 
thase  M'ho  began  with  the  same  position  become  more  dis- 
tinguished during  this  campaign. 

When  the  Federal  Government  -declared  war.  against 
the  Southern  States,  Major  Jackson  repaired  immediately 
\o  Richmond,  where  he  received  a  Colonel's  commission 
from  Governor  Letcher,  and  was  ordered  to  take  command 
at  Harper's  Ferry.  He  arrived  there  on  the  2d  of  May,  ji 
1861,  arid  entered  upon  his  duties  the  following  day.  His 
first>  active  service  in  the  present  war  was  on  the  2d  of 
'July,  when  he  engaQi:ed  the  advance  of  Gen.  Patterson's

army,  and  held  them  in  check  wiiilst  Gen,  Johnston,  the 
Southern  cornn*^k;r,  was  niakinnj  important  dispusjtions 
of  his  forces  inr^T  rear.  lie  exhibited  so  much  ability 
on  this  and  other  occasions  during  his  first  service  on  the 
upper  Potomac,  that -he  was  promoted  to  a  Brigadier  Gen- 
■ralship.      .      %  . 

At  the  first  battle  of  Manassas  he  fought  so  bravely  and 
resisted  so  firndy  the  etforts  of  the  enemy  to  drive  him 
back,  that  the  lamented  Gen.  Bee  gave  him  the  name  of 
Stonewall;  and  by  this  title  i^^'as  better  known  than 
by  his  proper  initials.  At  thi^B^ttle,  when,  another  CJen. 
said  to  him  "They  are  driving  us  back;  we  shall  be  over- 
'come."  "No,  sir;"  said  Jackson,  planting  himself  firmly, 
"  We'll  give  them  the  bayonet."  ; 

On  the  1st  of  January,  1B62,  after  a  severe  march,  in  ' 
which,  together  with  his  troops,  he  endured  much  suffering,  j 
he   drove   the   enemy   from   Rornney,   in  Virginia,   where 
they  nvere  lodged,  and  from  which  place  they  were  com- 
mitting great  depredations   on  the  surrounding  country. 
But  perhaps  the  most  brilliant  part  of  his  military  career  ; 
was  that  of  the  summer  of  the  same  year.     In  less  than  [ 
thirty  days  he  fought  and  conquered  no  less   than   four 
Generals  of  the  United  States  army.     Enc<juntering  Fre- 
mont west  of  Staunton  he  soon  drove  him  back,  and  with-  ! 
out  stopping  to  rest,  swept  down  the  valley  and  compelled  ' 
Banks  to  fly  across  the  Potomac.     Keturning  to  th^u])per 
valley  within  three  weeks,  he  dealt  Fremont  a  stl^ining  i 
blow  at  Cross  Keys,  vanquished  Shields  in  the  Luray  val- 
ley, and  then,  \sii.h  almost  electric  speed,  hurled  his  victo 
rious   forces   down  the  Virginia  Central   Railroad  on  the 
right  of  McClellan's  army,  which  was  then   in   sight  ot  j

As  a  patriojt  he  must  ever  he  loved^d  honored  bj 
very  6aiitherrt  heart.  No  one  was  i40r  generous  and 
unselfish.  One  night,  just  before  the  battle  of  Manassas, 
he  performed  guard  duty,  to  give  his•^vear^^ soldiers  an 
opportunity  for  sleeping.  The  sickness,  \^ich  w^is  one 
cause  of  his  death,  was  contracted  in  conseqlience  of  pass- 
inn- a  night  in  the  air  without  tent  or  covering,  having 
another  the  cape  which  Was  given  to  him  for  his 
(.)\vn   proti'ction.  ^^ 

A%a  soldier  friends  ai^Riiemies  speak  of  him  in  the 
highest  terms.,  {- ome  of  Rre  victories,  though  on  a  much 
sriialler  scale,  were  as  brilliant  as  any  which  were  won  by 
the  celebrated  French  conqueror.  He  was  remarkable 
for  the  rapidity  of  his  movements,  for  his  power  of  endu- 
rance, and  for*  the  great  confidence  with  which  he  always 
"inspire  ii  the  meu  of  his,  command. 

But  his  crowning  excellence  was  his  piety.  Tie  was  a 
•nan  of  great  faith.  He  was  much  in  prayer.  He  ac- 
knowledged God  in  all  his  ways.  When  Gen.  Lee  told  him 
that  the  great  victory  at  Fredericksburg  was  due  to  his 
hkill  and  energy,  he  replied:  "(Jen.  Lee  should  give  the 
ulory  to  God."'  His  soldiers  oh(^\  f.)und  him  on  his  knees 
hi' retired  parrs  of  the;  woods.  When  told  that  he  must 
die  hi  said-,  "It  will  be  infinite  gain  to  be  translated  to 
heaven  to  be  witli  Jesus.'  Let  every  Southern  youth 
reinen^er  his  great  and  good  qualities  and  endeavor  to 
iuutat^them.
